In China, when people talk about karma, usually they emphasise rewards or punishments.

It seems that the goal is always more important than the straight arrow.

If there was a universally accepted symbol or sign of karma, it would mean that we could be assured that our good deeds would definitely be rewarded or our bad deeds would definitely be punished.

Though I wonder how the universe can determine which actions are good or bad, or how good and how bad.

Let us assume that this is possible, then it is reasonable to assume that we would have a new and perfect world with little need for any police.

In reality, since it is clear that the police are busy all over the world, it is also reasonable to assume that there must not be an obvious symbol or sign to indicate karma. If there is, it must be too subtle or known to only a few people, otherwise it would be universally accepted.

In fact, the above assumption is a shallow idea.

Can such a sign or symbol really bring us a paradise?

Is a man really a good man if he does good deeds only to be rewarded, or if he would certainly do bad deeds if there were no punishment?

If he is a really bad person, do you really believe that he will give up doing bad things for fear of punishment?

When you treat a person the way you treat a thief, for example by labelling him with a concept like original sin, he will act like a thief because he becomes more and more convinced that thievery is his true nature.

In the novel Les Misérables, Jean Valjean is not punished for stealing silverware, and that changes him. Perhaps that was the first time he was not treated as a thief.

If we can remove ourselves from all labels, concepts, images, phenomena ...... including the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the winners, the losers, .....

from all kinds of ideas of ontologies including body, mind and spiritual experience.

We may find that our true nature is beyond all these things and has always existed.

Therefore, you are no longer concerned with the presence or absence of karma or reward or punishment.

Although from what I can see, we all have one reward/punishment.

When you do good things, the beautiful images you see, such as the smiles of your loved ones, are the rewards.

When you do bad things and the sight before you makes you frown or feel disgusted in your deepest thoughts, that is the punishment.

Are there very sick people who can suppress the feeling of disgust so deeply that they convince themselves that they are enjoying it?

I don't know. Maybe they're just in fiction.

Since I'm definitely not one of those people, I doubt that there are any such people among others.

If you think otherwise, allow me to introduce you to a Chinese poem, 'A thousand rivers have a thousand moons', but there is only one moon, the moon.

This means that all of us may be played by the same actor, the only one, and when you hurt someone else, you are hurting another you, and yourself.

As it takes time to do and act, including watching and listening, you feel not the present, but history.

There is no such thing as "at the same time" or "in the same place".

So when you hurt yourself, you are actually hurting another you at a different time. Since everything, including you and the earth, is in constant motion, it is also another you in a different place.

So why don't you help those who could be or should be another you or yourself.
在中国，当人们谈论业力时，通常会强调奖励或惩罚。

似乎目标总是比直箭更重要。

如果有一个普遍接受的业力的符号或标志，那就意味着我们可以放心，我们的善行肯定会得到回报，或者我们的恶行肯定会受到惩罚。

虽然我想知道宇宙如何确定哪些行为是好的或坏的，或者说如何好和如何坏。

让我们假设这是有可能的，那么我们有理由认为，我们将拥有一个全新的、完美的世界，几乎不需要任何警察。

在现实中，既然警察显然在世界各地都很忙，那么我们也可以合理地假设，一定没有一个明显的符号或标志来表示业力。如果有的话，它一定是太微妙了，或者只有少数人知道，否则就会被普遍接受。

事实上，上述假设是一种浅薄的想法。

这样的标志或符号真的能给我们带来一个天堂吗？

如果一个人做善事只是为了得到回报，或者如果没有惩罚，他肯定会做坏事，那么他真的是一个好人吗？

如果他是一个真正的坏人，你真的相信他会因为害怕惩罚而放弃做坏事吗？

当你以对待小偷的方式对待一个人时，比如给他贴上原罪这样的概念，他就会像小偷一样行事，因为他越来越相信小偷是他的真实本性。

在小说《悲惨世界》中，冉阿让没有因为偷银器而受到惩罚，而这改变了他。也许那是他第一次没有被当作小偷对待。

如果我们能把自己从所有的标签、概念、图像、现象......，包括好的、坏的、丑的、美的、赢家、输家.....

从包括身体、心灵和精神体验在内的各种本体观念中解脱出来。

我们可能会发现，我们的真实本性是超越所有这些东西的，并且一直存在着。

因此，你不再关心业力或奖惩的存在与否。

虽然从我所看到的，我们都有一个奖励/惩罚。

当你做善事时，你看到的美丽画面，如你所爱的人的微笑，就是回报。

当你做了坏事，眼前的景象让你皱眉头或在你最深的思想中感到厌恶，这就是惩罚。

是否有一些非常变态的人能够深深地压制住厌恶的感觉，以至于他们说服自己，他们正在享受这种感觉？

我不知道。也许他们只出现在小说中。

由于我绝对不是这种人，我怀疑其他人中是否有这种人。

如果你不这么认为，请允许我向你介绍一首中国诗，'千江有水千江月'，但只有一个月亮，就是天上的那个月亮。

这意味着我们所有人都可能是由同一个演员扮演的，唯一的一个，当你伤害别人的时候，你就是在伤害另一个你，还是你自己。

由于做和演都需要时间，包括观察和倾听，你感受到的不是现在，而是历史。

不存在 "在同一时间 "或 "在同一地点 "这样的事情。

所以当你伤害自己时，你实际上是在不同的时间伤害了另一个你。由于一切事物，包括你和地球，都在不断地运动，它也是在不同地方的另一个你。

所以你为什么不帮助那些可能是或应该是另一个你或你自己的人。
